Required Festival Payment System

The KC Arirang Festival will operate using a closed-loop payment system for all food purchases. All food vendors are required to process festival food sales through the designated festival payment system. Vendors may not use their own POS system to accept payment for food purchases during the festival.

The vendor sales program requires an Android device running Android 9 or newer.

 

Food vendors have two options:

  • Bring Your Own Device: Vendor provides a compatible Android device (Android 9 or newer) for use during the festival.
  • Rent a Device: A compatible device may be rented from the festival for $100.

Vendors who choose to rent a device will have the $100 rental fee added to their vendor fees.

 

Approved vendors will receive additional information regarding vendor fees, arrival and setup instructions, parking, event-day procedures, and other important requirements.

 

We appreciate your interest in being part of the KC Arirang Festival and look forward to creating an exciting festival experience together!
